HAMPTON — A 35-year-old Hampton man is facing a reckless conduct charge after allegedly trying to run a woman over with his car.

Police were called to Barbour Road in Hampton at about 2:15 p.m. Thursday to investigate the incident. They received a report that a man in a vehicle was attempting to strike a pedestrian in the area of Little River Road. The car was described as a green Toyota.

A car matching the description was located at 20 Barbour Road. The victim told police the suspect attempted to hit her while she was walking on the opposite side of the road.

Police say an independent witness also saw the event take place.

Arrested was 35-year-old Brent Pizon, of Hampton. Police say Pizon and the alleged victim knew each other, and that the incident was not random.

Pizon was arrested without incident. He is charged with felony-level reckless conduct.

Pizon was released on $500 cash and $5,000 personal recognizance bail, according to Hampton police. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 13 for an arraignment.
